2019 Volume 2 Literary & Art Magazine Arkansas State University at Beebe Division of Arts & Humanities front cover Alexus Dupree | Photography inside front cover Emmanuel Motto | Painting back cover Katie Winters | Illustration inside back cover Sarah Westmoreland | Digital Art Volume 2 LETTER FROM THE ASUB PUBLISHING STUDIO DESK This 2019 edition of Uncharted, the literary and art magazine at Arkansas State University—Beebe, marks not only the second issue of the digital magazine but also the first edition that will live in print. This year’s publication was made possible through the dedication of the ASUB Publishing Studio members, magazine faculty advisors, and the Dean of the Division of Arts & Humanities, Dr. Jason Goodner. The purpose of Uncharted is foremost to give light to the outstanding literary works and art created by students and alumni at Arkansas State University at Beebe. This publication also allows students, through the ASUB Publishing Studio, to gain project-based experience in editing and publishing. A final goal for this magazine is to encourage a flow of creativity and intellectual discourse in our readers. We are proud to say that the second edition of Uncharted reflects the diversity of our students at Arkansas State University—Beebe. The magazine covers a range of topics—from fishing in Southern California to overcoming domestic violence to arguing graffiti is art. We hope you enjoy the second edition of Uncharted, and that it inspires your own ideas, creations, and conversations. We distribute it as much as possible to increase the flow of creativity in our readers.
